I have seen videos and looked up how to use it etc. everyone else just puts the watch and the bezel pops off i have mangled 3 bezels on practice cases so far. I have tried every which way and i think the first time i tried to get the bezel off it came right off not sure what kind of watch it was. I have multiple invicta cases that i used the movements from so they are just practice pieces and as you can see i think i am doing everything like i am suppose to but no matter how much force i put on the screw the bezel will not pop off if I continue to try it bends the bezel and ruins it but it does come off.

i am making this watch for my brother after i applied the Custom made logo there was some residue so i tried to use rodico and it made things worst. How can i clean this please.

If i press it down hard enough it catches but then flies off. It is size 16 Waltham the pocket watch. Do i need to buy a bigger hand pusher? i have watch size hand pushers.

I am working on a Swiss movement and the hair spring is not tethered. It looks like It had this white glue holding it. I thought shellac was always yellow/orangish in color is this something else. Can I use a drop of super glue instead as I have never worked with shellac before.

There is a little stretch in the bracelet but for a 1988 watch it is acceptable. The end links should firm right up after i put in the new 2mm spring bars. L serial.

Seller was asking 150 but than could not get the watch to work so I told them 50 as the case looks silver but not sure. I like to service / troubleshoot old watch movements so it will be a fun project? I don’t see a complete set for sale online so not sure what do you guys think? Thanks for any help or guidance.

First the bottles came in a plastic bag, 2nd almost more than half the tube seems empty. Third it is not doing anything on the crystal / glass i am trying to fix. It is from an old Guess watch nothing expensive so it is def not a saphire and the other two i should be able to polish right? I have spent about 20 or so minutes of hard and soft polishing and it is still all scratched up. Two question could I have gotten fake Poly? Is there a glass Poly does not work on other than saphire? How hard am i suppose to be pushing? In 20 min i made before and after and dont think it made any diffrent it is a lot smoother when i slide my finger on the glass. I tried tapping on it but not sure what to expect so not even sure what am I suppose to be hearing. I did do the water droplet test and it does expan on the cheap Guess watch and makes a perfect bead on my gen Rolex.
